~ everyday is better with a little bit of Gray

10 Weeks

Well the countdown has begun! I cannot believe how fast this pregnancy has gone, I felt like Gray’s pregnancy went much slower. This baby will be here before we know it.

I am not sure if I really experienced “nesting” last time but wow, I believe that whatever I am up to now would be referred to as nesting. I cannot sit down, I just want to clean and organize. Our house is really getting a top to bottom overhaul. That feels pretty good. The nursery is coming along slowly. But, to be honest Gray did not sleep in his room until after his first birthday so I do not think that the nursery is that urgent. I just want it to come together because I know I will have an extreme lack of time after baby comes.

We are trying to pick out names, finding ones we agree on has proven tricky! Gray has given a few suggestions, Elephant, Monkey and Baby (very original!). If anyone has some boy name suggestions, we are all ears!

Mostly, we are pretty relaxed. Just enjoying the kicks and movement. Trying to prepare Gray and talk to him lots about all things baby. He seems to be coming around to the idea. Although I think he assumes baby will arrive, ready to play cars. I acknowledge we are in for a transition, but it should be pretty exciting!

Thanks Shantelle! I do like the name Kaleb, but we have a wonderful cousin already named that! We have wonderful cousins, the only issue is that there are so many males that a lot of great names are used up! I like your girl choices, luckily the girl names were easy for us. But, I think this little sweetie may be a boy, so I want to be ready 🙂

Congratulations Beth and Kane, we’re excited to hear you share your news! I had to giggle at your naming comment, my Kayne and I were down to the wire with each baby deciding on a name, the final decision came for each one came in a semi dark hospital room after we got a look at the little peanut, we work best under pressure I suppose! Some boy names from our archives are: Beau, Holden, Trace, Briggs (Brigham)

Thank you Jamie!! You are so right, maybe we will just go in with our ideas and the name will come to us when we see baby 🙂 I love your name suggestions, in fact Beau was at the top of my list but hubs vetoed it! Maybe he will come around…
